Support our raffle in aid of the Nancy Glen crowdfunding campaign

On the 18th January 2018, the “Nancy Glen” a fishing boat out of Tarbert, Loch Fyne, was tragically lost to the waters of the West Coast. One fisherman survived but the two other crew members, Skipper, Duncan MacDougall and crew member Przemek Krawczyk, did not.

A crowdfunding campaign to raise the boat and return the bodies of the crew to their families is currently underway and it’s raised more than £230,000 so far – can you help?

We are holding a raffle to encourage people to donate to the campaign.
